Sutton Foster Performs "Everything Today is Thoroughly Modern"

[TheCurt82]

@dessay: Please do your research! There were black flappers in the 20's; they just didn't normally mix with white flappers.  This show is a fun send-up to the time and to the campy movie of the same name. Stop taking it so literally...this isn't Ragtime, it's Millie!

[imaplate1]

is that matthew morison next to her?

[walt1896]

The costumes were more street-clothes like in the LaJolla tryouts. For Broadway, Martin Pakledinaz decided to go with a more stylized look and louder colors to make her pop on stage. Got him a Tony. There were some vibrant colors in 20's dress though. And, here against those Manhattan towers Sutton stunningly looks like an Erté Art Deco figurine.

She is so amazing here, but if you look at her current work you can really see how much she has grown as a performer.

I'm doing this play at my high school! Sooo excited! the girl whos playing millies is gonna rock it!

[Capricaquarius89]

The show was itself was good fun, and Sutton was fantastic. But the costumes and sets were just hideous. I mean, look at that yellow canary dress on Sutton. I know they were trying to evoke the 20s, but they misfired terribly. Take a look at some of the photos from the show.

@Capricaquarius89 But Sutton makes her outfits look good. And it's not that the STYLES of the outfits are hideous; it's the colors that make you think the designer was either colorblind or drunk as a skunk when they picked out the dyed fabrics.

[idinaismygod]

She keeps calling her mam!!

Shes just the cutest thing ever!!

[kanitalynnjohnto]

Julia Andrews...? Anyone...?

[MeBeRhi]

[JAKEHasArrived]

Meridith is kind of a bitch...

[Acoontey]

I'm doing this musical this year, I'm Ching Ho (of course I got it i'm Asian...). On my off night I'm a dancer. I have to say, it's not the singing or the acting that's the hardest part of this musical, it's the dancing :P.

[cjs4911]

@Gymnasticseverywhere Really?! Where'd you find that out?

[walt1896]

@cjs4911 Chenowith was very early on in the process and left to do a TV show . Erin Dilly was to be Millie and Sutton was her understudy in La Jolla, CA, where the show was being formed. Through a whole variety of circumstances, producers decided to go with Sutton. Dilly gracefully bowed out. Coolest thing is that friends Erin and Sutton did children's theater together as kids here in Michigan. Erin turned right around and got her own Tony Nom for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a couple years later.

@walt1896 Erin never got a Tony nod for Chitty, I'm afraid.

[cjs4911]

At 2:10 the guy to the left of Millie.... Is that Lucas Grabeel from high school 'musical?

[dottiedots221]

@cjs4911 No, he was in college back then. But it does look exactly like him.

[bnorem09]

@cjs4911 Uhm.. he would have been about 15 years old, so no.

[cjs4911]

Does anyone know who wa originally suppose yo play Millie?

[broadwaygirl0307]

[dennise7star]

Sutton is great! The best fit for Millie.

[musicalfool]

@dennise7star When she said that Sutton's eyes got HUGE!

[zombiegirl626]

Jonathan Groff auditioned for the chorus. He did the entire dance in an interview once, it was hysterical.

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

@zombiegirl626 Where is this video? I NEED to see that! Haha

[zombiegirl626]

@TerribleGreenBlizzrd Type in Jonathan Groff obsessed. It's part 2, right at the end.

[iluvthetheatre]

The music just flows out of her, and she has this magical stage presents that no other milly can portray. 

[canuckleful]

Is her Mother Jody Foster?

[luvHSM2]

@canuckleful No, Jodie Foster's kids are two boys pre-teens/teens.

[sschimel]

The name of the song is Thoroughly Modern Milly. It was written for the movie of the same name, starring Julie Andrews.

[peacesavior]
